Hold Your Craft Gatherings at the Studio!

You can now hold your workshops and other gatherings at the Hey Kessy studio! That’s right, we’re opening our doors to make our little craft space, your craft space.

It’s located at 71-B Esteban Abada St., Loyola Heights, Quezon City (near Ateneo de Manila and Miriam College), and measures roughly 20 sqm, or enough to sit 15 people comfortably. Tables and chairs will be provided.

The well-lighted studio has its own air conditioning unit, toilet, and a nearby sink for when things get messy. There’s a small pocket garden outside, and if you need some space to prepare snacks and beverages, the adjoining kitchen can also be used.

ANC Feature

Weekend Craft Challenge: 5 Gifts You Can Make for Mother's Day

So you want to give mommy something handmade for this coming Sunday's celebration? Don't fret as we have 5 simple projects that you can surely finish in one day.

1. Washied Monogram 

This ain't just the typical monogram covered with washi or twine - it doubles as a flower pot or even planter! Just open a monogram using a craft knife, cover the letter with washi, then put flowers inside! :) 




2. Clay Jewelry Dish

With all the handmade accessories you've given her the past months, she would definitely need a jewelry dish! All you need are clay and some paint. You can experiment with different shapes, patterns, and colors.




3. Stamped Spoon

On Sunday, before she wakes up, make sure to pop this spoon which your sweet message. Use these metal stamps to tell her how much you love her. Happy breakfast, mom!



4. Hand-carved Stamps

Give her something she could use for her craft projects - hand-carved stamps! This carving tool has different nibs so it wouldn't be a problem carving erasers with her name, favorite plants, or even patterns. Make extra cards for your friends' moms!




5. Mini Blackboard

Nope, doesn't matter if you're a pro. I'm sure your mom would appreciate your message in any penmanship it is written. ;) This blackboard paint works on any type of wood just make sure to follow the instructions written on the bottle!



These are just simple but special projects we're sure your mom would love. Make extra stamps that you and your siblings can use if you want to throw a craft party for your mom on Sunday! ♡

Tell us about your project by emailing us photos or tagging us on Facebook and Instagram.

Our First Sunprinting Workshop!

Summer isn't only meant to be enjoyed by the beach. Last weekend, we had our first event at the studio - Sunprinting Workshop! The summer heat didn't stop everyone from having a blast printing on totes, postcards, and tea towels. :)

As a sample, I sunprinted on this tote bag using dried maple leaves. I really like how it turned out!







After the instructions were given, the participants started to work on their own projects. They were free to use and experiment with all the craft materials on the table.













After a couple of hours, they came up with such amazing projects!

We also had a craft pop-up shop - there were washi, twines, stamps, and books.



After crafting, we had lunch together. My younger brother, Ged, prepared a delicious chicken meal for us. :)









Thanks to everyone who joined the workshop. As Meghan, one of the participants said, "stay sun-kissed!"

PS  Sorry we could only accommodate 7 participants as the studio isn't that big. We're going to have more workshops this summer though. Head on to www.heykessy.com/register to see the schedule.
